How much does a 302 weigh?
ive seen a few different answer ranging from 450 to almost 600lbs. Trying to find the true weight with everything one it(AC compressor, alternator, smog pump, all the wiring, etc.) of a 302 that came out of a 95 f150. I have an engine hoist rated for 2 tons with the bar set all the way back and I would like to drop the engine and trans in together. I will be removing the radiator core support to do so.

You will.be under 2k pounds. The thing you need to do is make sure the rolling path of the hoist is good and clear of debris. So it rolls smooth... The weight isn't the big issue, the momentum of everything when your wheel hits a ziptie and stops the picker but the engine wants to keep going is what gets you lol

A 5.0 is from 425 to 465 depending on dress. Add 325-365 for an E4OD, 100 to 150, or less for any other trans.
I don't worry so much about the crane as much as the pin holding the hook on the crane.

You better check what it is rated at with the bar all the way out. I have never been able to get the engine into the bay with the bar all the way back.
